Super Sunday

Today while we were watching the Olympics after church my mom started to hand out church magazines for us to read. She handed me this month's New Era so I got some colored pencils and my scriptures. I started to read a couple stories then I got to an article by John Bytheway called 5 Scriptures That Will Help You Get Through Almost Anything. I started reading and looking up the scriptures. I got to scripture two and decided that I wanted to give a FHE lesson on this because it was so good. So I told my mom that I would prepare the lesson then I got my Personal Progress book because there was a goal I wanted to pass off during my lesson. I also got the hymn book because I needed to pick out my two favorite hymns, memorize them and the conducting patterns, and conduct them during FHE. So I did the Personal Progress goal and moved on to my lesson. I started re-reading the article and the farther I got into it the more I liked it. I marked all of the scriptures for future reference and now I think I have a pretty darn good lesson prepared. I really liked reading my scriptures and the New Era this Sunday and I think I'm going to start trying to do this every Sunday. I can't wait to teach my family about what I learned and bare my testimony of the scriptures to them. And hopefully let them see that chocolate chip muffins really are good. :)

I have heard this talk given by Johh Bytheway as well. It is a great one. In the meeting that he presented it to us he said that he was asked to speak to the Columbine High School Seminary students after the Columbine shootings and that is how he came up with the idea for this talk. I hope your lesson went well. :)
